Statistics on Panic Attacks

Approximately 2.4 million American adults ages 18 to 54, or about 1.7 percent of people in this age group, have panic attacks in a given year.

Panic disorder typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood.

About one in three people with panic disorder develop agoraphobia, a condition in which they become afraid of being in any place or situation where escape might be difficult or help unavailable in the event of panic attacks.
